A baseball team has a goal of hitting more than 98 home runs this season. They average 7 home runs each game and have already hit 35 home runs so far. How many more games, x, will it take the baseball team to reach its home run hitting goal if they continue to average 7 home runs per game?
To determine how many more games the baseball team needs to reach their goal of hitting more than 98 home runs, we first need to find out how many more home runs they need to hit.
The goal is to hit more than 98 home runs. So far, they have hit 35 home runs.
98 home runs - 35 home runs = 63 more home runs needed
Next, we need to determine how many games it will take for the team to hit 63 more home runs if they average 7 home runs per game.
Number of games = Number of home runs needed / Average home runs per game
Number of games = 63 / 7
Number of games = 9
Therefore, the baseball team will need to play 9 more games to reach their home run hitting goal if they continue to average 7 home runs per game.
